I’ve been away working and haven’t checked this thread in a couple weeks. All but 1 or 2 of the DPSUs have been sent out, the only ones left are a couple that had customization requests which will be finished this week

Since i know some people have been replacing electrolytic capacitors, just wanted to mention this — do NOT replace the polymer capacitors on the output of the AC/DC modules. Those parts/values were selected for a reason

 

[Middy]

That wont be a problem i dont think...

Whats the final verdict? Final voltage any measurements you can share, your thoughts.

But thanks again...no cap swapping i promise..

thanks Justin. I just received my shipping notice today. Can’t wait to hear the GL Mk2 in action with the new and improved PSU.

Mine arrived about 30 minutes ago and I've only listened to one song so far (Nine Inch Nails - "Closer") but the improvements are pretty noticeable already. Bass is much tighter and more impactful. There seems to be more air and better clarity in the highs as well.

Chain: Roon (2014 MBP) -> Bifrost 2 (Unison) XLR -> HeadAmp GS-X mini pre-out -> GLMk2 -> ZMF Verite C (Suede Universe pads)

Obviously the GS-X mini is adding its own flavor to the sound but I was using this same chain with the stock GLMk2 PSU before the switch so it's still relevant. I plan on trying this out without the GS-X mini in the chain as well, but so far I'm impressed. This already great little amp sounds spectacular now. I'm excited to hear how the Atticus and Ether 2 sound as well.

Cheers for doing a quick overview, and dispelling any initial worries...
I hope more chime in with impressions and what kit in the chain.

I wanted the Elnas to be perfect for the MK2, i wanted to fit the 25v fine golds now. But i can see if i get back a bit more top end sparkle with a clean PSU.

Let the good times roll for our little piece of audio pleasure.... i needed a little lift..

I feel like there is better separation and the stage feels much wider and more 3D as well. Really impressed with this PSU! Great work, Justin!

There have been 2 different PSUs. Which one came with your GLmk2 and you compare to?

I'm comparing the stock PSU to the Golden PSU

Love seeing these initial impressions!! Is the stock PSU you're comparing it to the original PSU or the newer switching PSU?

To clarify my questions:
There has been 2 different stock PSUs for the GLmk2... The original one:

Later, it was replaced with this one:

So... which do you compare to? Common "belief" on this thread is the former was a little better than the latter of the 2 above.

 

[klyrish]

I have the newer stock PSU.

 

[Middy]

Interesting to see what difference people find on thier rigs with what PSU. The latter was for international friendly voltages.... mine spiked at 250v+ so my psu buzzed and was quite warm..

I ended up using a 230v UPS sine out generator to use it. The wife wasnt happy so its been on there since..

I will not get a chance to listen until next week, but the new power supply arrived and Headamp has come through again.

I received the amber led I requested along with the matching serial number to my amp. Great looking little unit, going to make a great stack with black modi 3 on top.

Looking forward to the first listen and comparing it to the stock psu and other amps i have lying around.
